“There are clients, and then there are CLIENTS. Harshal Sisodia is a CLIENT. He is incredibly passionate and puts his heart and soul into everything he does. He is a true partner and deserves (and expects) the best. He challenges all around him to think about everything we do from every angle and doing what was done before just doesn’t cut it. He is a collaborator, a strategic leader, and a listener. He trusts and celebrates his team ... he is an tremendous asset to the Jordan Brand.”
“I had the opportunity and pleasure to work with Harshal on NikeiD. He joined NikeiD as the Brand Digital Director on our team and hit the ground running. Harshal is known for his creativity, innovative thinking and passion for great work. He brought to our team a new and fresh social strategy for customized sneakers. Harshal was quick to assess the opportunity, design relevant solutions and activate a plan. As a seasoned digital leader, he knows what it takes to deliver great work and coach his team.
